Shapel in Tsarskoe Selo, Gothic Revival pavilion in Alexander Park, Tsarskoe Selo, Russia.

The Shapel features two square-based towers connected by a broad arch, with colored glass windows filtering natural light into the interior spaces.

Constructed between 1825 and 1828 under architect Adam Menelaws, the Shapel suffered damage during wartime and remained closed for several decades until 2018.

The interior displays sculptures of angels created by Vasily Demuth-Malinovsky and previously contained a statue of Christ made by German sculptor Johann Heinrich von Dannecker.

Visitors can reach the Shapel by following the paths through Alexander Park, which connects to other architectural monuments within the Tsarskoe Selo complex.

The building combines Gothic Revival elements with Russian architectural traditions, featuring colored glass windows that create specific light patterns throughout the structure.
